Description

I am sitting with Patrick at C/C and he is learning how to build Solr on his windows box.   Of course, we run into the fact he doesn't have perl.

 

We should not require perl to run the dev build.  It's only used for changes.txt.

 

It's a blocker for every new user, and we don't tell them what to do.
